Another ballot...........this one will be like winning the lottery.....will it be gold card holders only or will everyone go in the hat?

Rule of Six is easy to dodge isn't it?

People struggling to get tests to allow them to get back to work yet football clubs can test players twice a week.

I'm pleasantly surprised by that news. I didn't think anyone was going to be in the Riverside for a long time yet.

Nonsense comment.

1000 people spread across a 34,000 seater stadium.

It's not going to be 1000 fans packed in to one section of a stand.

 

[BoroBen92]

This is great news though, hope I get selected.

Though as above, I'd not be shocked if they restricted it to gold cards.

I think there is likely to be an open ballot of all season card holders.
Or simply first come first served from all season card holders.

I doubt they're getting them done via the NHS.

Wednesday now, 72 hours or so to kick off. (edited because I can't count!!!)

Does anyone think MFC are capable of selecting (by whatever means) and informing a 1000 people they can go to the match in that time?

Unless of course they've already chosen the lucky ones!

I’m sure Middlesbrough haven’t just found out through the news and have been working with EFL for weeks behind the scenes

Wednesday now, 48 hours or so to kick off.

More like 75hrs

Heard this read out on the radio and celebrated it like a goal. After the news last week I thought it'd be a long time till we saw any fans at the Riverside. Good luck to those in the pot for a ticket!

Doh!

 

[FullTiltTraore]

Can't see MFC being able to sort this in 2 days. Not getting my hopes up.

 

[Kenna]

It's great news, a start at least

I don't think fans should be allowed in yet no matter how distanced, we are seeing a massive upsurge in COVID19 infection rates, have we forgotten the horrors of this disease and the risk we put our key workers in, it's just a game of football.
